New hope for dialysis patients: non-surgical kidney reduction could clear the way for transplant

This study looks at a non-surgical procedure called renal embolization to shrink enlarged kidneys in 30 dialysis patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The goal is to reduce kidney size enough to make a future kidney transplant possible and improve comfort. Researchers will measure kidney volume changes using MRI over 12 months.
